Using PowerShell with Windows Azure

At the May 26, 2011 Boston Azure User Group meeting, Joel Bennett – a Microsoft PowerShell MVP from the Rochester, NY area – spoke about PowerShellbasics, then got into a bunch of useful ways PowerShell can be applied to Windows Azure. We had around 25 people at the event.

dir | where { $_.PSIsContainer } — where $_ is “the thing over there (directory)”

dir | select CreationTime, Name | gm
